Because we control this entire development we are able to insure the early buyers that ever rew house built will be under our superyision and a credit to the location. Located adjacent to “Friendship,” the magnificent estate of Mr. Edward B. McLean, within a stone’s throw of the picturesque mansion of Admiral Cary T. Grayson and flanked on the east by the beautiful wooded grounds of “Pembroke Park,” home of Mr. Alfred P. Thom, North Cleveland Park cannot. but increase in value. It is one of the highest and coolest spods in the District. It is bordered on the west by ‘Wisconsin Avenue, which is now the Lincola High- way, the greatest artery of travel leading in from the north and west, and will be widened very shortly to one of our niost stately boulevards. There is much more that could be said about the location and_the character of development, but you will find it difficult to appreciate the real worth of the proposition unless you can see it. It is truly the great- est building operation ever attempted by a Washington builder.
